boyle,boyle,boyle, i'm looking for a great time (sabrina)

Rating: Null/10 (6 July 2003)

number 3 of danny boyle, which is not a sequel such as t3. he does a good job on having a melange of sci-fi and horror movie with a handsome cast. this british movie arrives at the right time, where science and technology try to dominate the world and the human race has to deal with the westnile virus, sars, and most recently monkey pox. here it starts: infected monkeys are released from a research center by activists,having a rage virus in them and causing the extermination of london's population. here it is again, the little hulk in everyone is released. the story deals with the search for noninfected human beings by the last 4 survivors, which can be found in the nearby Manchester at an army unit. there is lots of blood and gruesome moments, which make the story appear like a computer game: survival of the fittest slash smartest. it is good versus evil and who has to win in the end?! zombies running around with red eyes and all accompanied by great music. the soundtrack is awesome, as always, and some scenes remind the viewer of trainspotting, this time there is some classical music involved, underlying the mood, other times it seems like a techno party with lots of flashes + valium. shot in video, it distributes an i-witness effect, presenting people killing each other instead of the fear of the virus. fresh, witty, scary, great! two thumbs up, as Mr. Ebert would say.
